THE COMING FAIR.

Last week it was determined to erect
a temporary Floral Hall, and at once
carpenters were put to work upon it. 1t
will be rough affair, but it will afford
shelter from the sun and storm, and it
is hoped the society will be in condi-
tion next year to erect commodio US
and elegant building. The fences de-
stroyed by the tornado have been re-
built, as has the ticket Office, and the
grand stand and judges stand are being
rebuilt,and will be completed this week.
The track has been extended to a
half mile course, with easy grades and
curves. 1t is in tip>top condition, and
the managers assure US the racing will
greatly excel anything heretofore at
tempted.
The display of live stock, always an
interesting feature. will this year be un-
usually attractive.
Get your baskets ready. load your
family into the wagon, and see the fair
and the people.
Wagons will call for articles for Floral
Hall, as usual. Have them ready, that
the display may be made as attractive
as possible.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Some necessary repairs are being made
to the public school building, preparat
tory to the opening of the schools. The
building was pretty severely shaken by
the tornado of April 15. making large re-
pairs of windows and plastering neces-
sary.
The schools will open after the fair,
and the youth of town will then settle
down to an all winters job. The colored
youth will be scattered through the
building, in such rooms as their acquire
ments fit them to enter.
It is hoped those in charge of the
course will sac the desirability of more
time and more thorough training in the
common branches. and that pupils will
be given more time and more thorough
understanding especially of arithmetic
and grammar. The schools are very un-
satisfactory in this respect. 1t has been
the rule to hurry pupils through these
necessary studies, In order to get them
into the higher branches, and to gradua-
ton. The purpose of our public school
system is "a thorough training in the
common branches of an English educa
tiOn"

was elected one of the Commissioners of
the county. When actively engaged in
affairs, he was a man of influence and
wide acquaintance. He owned and lived
on very fine farm, and before the int
firmities of age and the removal of his
children by marriage it was the most
famous place in the county for gather
ings and entertainments. The fame of
its hospitality and good cheer was wide
spread and we'll deserved.
The Judge is gathered to his fathers
at ripe old age, and at the end of a
long and useful life. The funeral will
take place at o'clock to-day (Thursday).
